Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Jensen is a Staff Frontend Engineer with 11 years of experience building design systems and developer-facing UI tooling that bridge the gap between designers and engineers. Based in Denver, he has led teams and shipped accessible, internationalized React component libraries used by hundreds of engineers and millions of users, with a strong track record at companies like Instructure, Vivian Health, and now Gusto. He focuses on codifying shared patterns—consistent APIs, WCAG AA accessibility, exhaustive tests, and clear documentation—so teams stop reinventing UI problems. Steve pairs hands-on implementation with mentorship and cross-team consulting, helping large engineering organizations adopt design-system thinking at scale. An advocate for accessibility and responsive design, he often surfaces implementation details that make components both beautiful and reliably usable across contexts.
